What is ketamine used for?
According to Yahoo’s report, Ketamine is allegedly used as a recreational drug to treat mental health. It is used in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD and more. The drug is also used as a general anesthetic in surgeries.
Matthew Perry reportedly had Ketamine infusion therapy around one and a half weeks before his death. But, according to the autopsy report, the infusion therapy could not have caused it because ketamine’s half-life is 3-4 hours or less. However, the dosage found in Perry’s blood was higher than what is used for anesthetic, which could have caused overstimulation of the heart and problems in breathing.
Matthew Perry, in his memoir, wrote about taking ketamine daily while battling addiction. As per that it helped with depression and easing his pain.
The cast of Friends Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matt le Blanc, and David Schwimmer were left devastated after Perry’s death and shared heartfelt notes honoring him. Jennifer reportedly was the most hurt because she was already dealing with the loss of her father, who died last year.
